Petraeus...REMF went to college and got his PhD during wartime, paid the al Quaida millions of dollars to stop shooting at us in Iraq, moved on to Afghanistan/Vietnamistan...but still fighting ghosts because the al Quaida moved to Yemen 6 years ago. Considered a plan to pay the Taliban millions of dollars to stop shooting at us. Nope...doesn't sound like good CIA material to me.

Pretty sure he didn't pay AQ to stop shooting at us since they still do in Iraq and there are a lot of foreign fighters in Afghanistan. Pretty sure he's not paying the Taliban either because they're still blowing us up.

How would paying people off NOT be good CIA material though?
